The Fin
The Troy Elmore Egg features an outstanding blend of timeless curves and foil, creating a versatile fin well-suited for mid-lengths.
Troy is an ultra talented shaper and surfer; an eminent figure in today’s niche world of retro designs. Like many of Troy Elmore’s board designs, this fin is a nod to traditional mid-length and egg shape fin designs. Its upright profile allows for a tight turning radius and responsive pocket surfing. And its moderate base tapers seamlessly to a narrow tip for plenty of drive down the line, while still remaining loose and receptive to the rider’s input.
- Upright profile and narrow tip create responsiveness and looseness
- All-around fin best suited for mid-lengths in the 6’2” - 8” range
- Solid fiberglass construction, raw finish

An outstanding blend of timeless curves and foil, with an upright profile that allows for a tight turning radius and responsive pocket surfing.
Put the Elmore Egg on a 6'2" to 8'0" egg or mid-length when you want tight pivot turns and pocket response with enough drive to keep speed; it rewards an active style more than pure trimming. For trim and glide go Skip Frye, for more hold through the turn the Tappy MOD, and for base-driven drive in weak surf the Greenough 4A.
The Troy Elmore Egg is a single fin designed by shaper Troy Elmore and made by True Ames in solid fiberglass, in one size, 8.0 inch. The template is upright with a moderate base tapering to a narrow tip. It is intended for eggs and mid-lengths roughly in the 6'2" to 8'0" range.
